Elon Musk’s brand sold 12,130 new cars across the EU last month, down from 18,430 in November 2024

Tesla continued a run of weak sales in the EU in November, with new car registrations of Elon Musk’s brand down a third, while Chinese carmakers’ sales soared.

Tesla sold 12,130 new cars across the EU last month, down from 18,430 in November 2024, shrinking its market share from 2.1% to 1.4%, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (Acea), a lobby group.

The Chinese carmaker BYD recorded by far the fastest sales growth, with registrations across Europe almost tripling year on year up to November, to 42,500. Chinese state-owned SAIC, the owner of the MG brand, recorded sales increases of 26% to push sales to 217,000.

    It’s 2035. Chinese EVs are still banned in the US market. The Trumpist regime still hasn’t provided suitable alternative modes of transportation and the air is unbreathable. I have just snucked out of a San Diego harbor with a BYD electric hatchback. Life is good.
